Ensuring fair and impartial handling of work assignments across BC’s unionized construction industry.

Main Content

J.A. Plan ensures that work keeps going at all times while jurisdictional disputes are resolved quickly and effectively.

Where there is disagreement between two or more unions relating to a contractor’s assignment of specific work, application can be made to the JAplan for a determination as to the work assignment. Hearings are held and decisions rendered by an independent JAplan Umpire, usually within a week to ten days of an application being made.

The Jurisdictional Assignment Plan of the BC Construction Industry is a joint initiative of CLR and the BC & Yukon Territory Building & Construction Trades Council.
